Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for in situ precipitation from infiltrated inorganic chemical salt solutions to form compatible solid compounds within the interconnected pores of thermal spray coated or sintered articles.
- the method is useful, for example, in the protection of integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, internal chamber components, and electrostatic chuck manufacture.
- Thermal spray coatings can be used for the protection of equipment and components. used in corrosive environments. Such thermally sprayed coatings are derived from the heating, acceleration of materials, originally in solid form as powder or wire, through a thermal spray device in which they are rendered semi-molten and deformable prior to impact on a work piece surface. As such, they contain differing degrees of residual porosity which may range in size from the clearly visible to the sub-micron. Much of the porosity is interconnected and forms networks of surface-to-substrate channels into which corrosive process gases may penetrate. Corrosion of the coating, or of the substrate if penetration is complete, is unacceptable in coated equipment used in integrated circuit manufacture because of the generation of contaminant corrosion products and particles.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,869,144 discloses a process for sealing the outer porous surface of an article with a boron nitride-silicate-containing sealant.
- Articles, i.e., rolls, intended for use with molten zinc are coated with a protective layer such as tungsten carbide cobalt, alumina, zirconia or molybdenum boride.
- the sealant is then deposited over the coating to prevent penetration of molten zinc to the substrate of the roll and also to minimize buildup of oxides and/or dross on the surface of the coated roll from the molten zinc.
- This invention relates in part to a method for sealing porosity of at least a portion of an outer porous surface of an article, said method comprising (i) applying a first solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (ii) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said first solution, (iii) applying a second solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (iv) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said second solution, and (v) allowing the infiltrated first solution and the infiltrated second solution to react, thereby forming an infiltrated solid precipitate, said infiltrated solid precipitate sealing the porosity of at least a portion of the outer porous surface of said article.
- This invention also relates in part to a method for sealing porosity of at least a portion of an outer porous surface of an article, said method comprising (i) applying a sealant solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (ii) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said sealant solution, and (iii) allowing the infiltrated sealant solution to react, thereby forming an infiltrated solid precipitate, said infiltrated solid precipitate sealing the porosity of at least a portion of the outer porous surface of said article.
- This invention further relates in part to articles, e.g., integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, deposition chamber components and electrostatic chucks, having an outer porous surface in which at least a portion of said outer porous surface is sealed with a precipitated sealant solution.
- articles e.g., integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, deposition chamber components and electrostatic chucks, having an outer porous surface in which at least a portion of said outer porous surface is sealed with a precipitated sealant solution.
- This invention yet further relates in part to articles prepared by the method of this invention.
- the method of this invention enables interconnected porosity in thermal spray coated and sintered articles to be sealed with white, microcrystalline deposits which contain no foreign metallic cations and no hydrocarbon or silicone resins and solvents.
- the method is particularly compatible with high purity oxide ceramic coatings used in the electronics industry because high purity chemicals can be used.
- the method can enable treated thermal spray coated and sintered articles to exceed by a factor of 4-5 the 4 hour penetration resistance requirement of a typical hydrochloric acid test used by the industry. Additionally, the method of this invention can improve the whiteness of thermally sprayed ceramic oxide coatings and sintered bodies which is important for yttria and alumina coatings.
- in-situ precipitation from infiltrated inorganic chemical salt solutions is used to form compatible solid compounds within the interconnected pores in articles having a thermally sprayed coating or a sintered article, thereby reducing or eliminating porosity-related problems such as penetration and corrosion by fluids, (liquids or gases) in the articles.
- the porosity related problems are applicable to a variety of metal, metal alloy and ceramic products, particularly so in coatings and ceramics used in the electronics industry in plasma and chemical vapor deposition chambers and in electrostatic chucks where the presence of mobile contaminant metallic cations must be avoided.
- Porosity related problems also occur in anodization which contains inherent surface-to-substrate microporosity in the form of vertical channels formed naturally during anodic growth of the oxide surface film.
- This invention provides a method for blocking or sealing the inter-connected residual micro-porosity in thermal spray coated and sintered articles, particularly those of the ceramic oxides, yttria and alumina, thereby reducing the level of corrosive attack by process reagents.
- This has been accomplished by the method of this invention without using any hydrocarbon or other resin systems, without introducing any foreign metal cations, mobile or otherwise, and without causing any coloration or reduction in whiteness of the coating.
- Special electronics grade brushes with nylon bristles held ideally by molding, rather than by a potentially soluble epoxy resin in a polyethylene or polypropylene handle, should be used to avoid sodium and other contaminants.
- this invention relates to a method for sealing porosity of at least a portion of an outer porous surface of an article, said method comprising (i) applying a first solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (ii) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said first solution, (iii) applying a second solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (iv) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said second solution, and (v) allowing the infiltrated first solution and the infiltrated second solution to react, thereby forming an infiltrated solid precipitate, said infiltrated solid precipitate sealing the porosity of at least a portion of the outer porous surface of said article.
- this invention relates to a method for sealing porosity of at least a portion of an outer porous surface of an article, said method comprising (i) applying a sealant solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (ii) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said sealant solution, and (iii) allowing the infiltrated sealant solution to react, thereby forming an infiltrated solid precipitate, said infiltrated solid precipitate sealing the porosity of at least a portion of the outer porous surface of said article.
- This invention consists of the application of solutions of compatible inorganic ionic reagents such that they are infiltrated into the residual porosity of coatings or sintered bodies and react chemically in-situ within the coating or sintered body to form a solid precipitate. The formation of these solid precipitates seals porosity from within the body of the coating.
- the method of this invention uses inorganic ionic solutions of compatible chemical reagents.
- the method uses yttrium salts for yttrium coatings, aluminum salts for alumina coatings and can use zirconium salts for zirconia coatings.
- This invention can employ virtually any inorganic ionic solution with any coating or sintered body and the solutions are interchangeable, e.g., cerium salts with yttria coatings, aluminum salts with zirconia coatings, and the like.
- the reacting solutions e.g., a first solution comprising a metal salt solution (e.g., yttrium nitrate) and a second solution comprising a basic solution (e.g., ammonium hydroxide) or a sealant solution comprising a mixture of the metal salt solution and basic solution, are preferably of low viscosity, thereby allowing the solutions to penetrate the micron and sub-micron porosity found in thermally sprayed coatings and sintered ceramic bodies.
- a metal salt solution e.g., yttrium nitrate
- a basic solution e.g., ammonium hydroxide
- sealant solution comprising a mixture of the metal salt solution and basic solution
- the yttrium and zirconium salts work well separately and together to form hydroxy-nitrate precipitated solid compounds, and work better if these reaction products are fired after drying. Since most chamber components for integrated circuit manufacture are made from aluminum, the scope for high temperature heat treatment is limited to about 200° C. For high temperature thermal barrier coatings on nickel alloys for gas turbines or for corrosion resistant coatings on steels for the galvanizing industry, the in-situ precipitates of zirconia and yttria can easily be heat treated to achieve decomposition into oxides. The scope for doping zirconia coatings with other oxides by this method is very wide because of the scope for thermal decomposition allowed by the use of nickel and cobalt super alloy substrates.
- a preferred method of this invention includes a post-application heat treatment of the sealed article at a temperature of greater than 750° C., (rather than a drying treatment at 120° C. dictated by the presence of an aluminum substrate,) in order to stabilize, rather than dry, the in-situ precipitate.
- a sealing treatment agent is applied onto the thermal sprayed coating formed on the surface of the substrate or onto the sintered article in the aforementioned coating formation step.
- the sealing treatment agents are selected from solutions of inorganic salts of a desired metallic cation, which can form solid reaction products on contact.
- the solutions are applied sequentially, allowed to come into contact and to react chemically within the pores of the porous article.
- the sealant solution although some reaction will have started upon the mixing of the metal salt solution with the base solution, the sealant solution should be applied in sufficient time to allow infiltration and precipitation of the solution within the pores of the porous article.
- Illustrative metal salts which can be used in the method of this invention include, for example, yttrium, cerium, lanthanum, aluminum or other nitrates, chlorides or sulfates. Nitrates are particularly effective in electronic applications since they avoid contamination by sulfur and chlorine.
- Illustrative basic reacting solutions include, for example, ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. For certain electronic applications, basic materials such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are highly undesirable because of the high mobility of sodium and potassium cations and process chamber contamination issues.
- the concentration of the metal salt starting solution can vary over a wide range, and need only be that minimum amount necessary to react with the base starting material to form the hydroxy-nitrate precipitates.
- the metal salt starting material concentrations in the range of from about 1 millimole or less to about 10,000 millimoles or greater, should be sufficient for most processes.
- the concentration of the base starting solution can vary over a wide range, and need only be that minimum amount necessary to react with the metal salt starting material to form the hydroxy-nitrate precipitates.
- the base starting material concentrations in the range of from about 1 millimole or less to about 10,000 millimoles or greater, should be sufficient for most processes.
- the aqueous sealant solutions can contain from about 20 to about 300 grams per liter of yttrium nitrate, and from about 20 to about 200 milliliters per liter of ammonium hydroxide (0.880 specific gravity).
- the aqueous sealant solution can contain from about 80 to about 140 grams per liter of yttrium nitrate, and from about 25 to about 40 milliliters per liter of ammonium hydroxide. It is also within the scope of this invention to use solutions of two different metallic salts, such as a mixture of yttrium and zirconium or magnesium.
- the reacting sealant solution e.g., yttrium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide
- the reactive sealant solutions are preferably applied to the coated or sintered article which is used in an environment of corrosive gases. Corrosive gases and liquids attack coated articles, sintered articles and the like and easily penetrate into small holes or gaps in the micrometer range because of their porosity.
- Illustrative hydroxy-nitrate precipitates used in the method of this invention include, for example, yttrium hydroxy nitrate, cerium hydroxy nitrate, lanthanum hydroxy nitrate, and the like.
- Reaction conditions for the reaction of the base material, e.g., ammonium hydroxide, with the metal salt material, e.g., yttrium nitrate, such as temperature, infiltration time and contact time, may also vary greatly and any suitable combination of such conditions may be employed herein. Normally the reaction is carried out under ambient temperature and the infiltration and contact time may vary from a matter of seconds or minutes to a few hours or greater.
- the reactants can be applied to the coated or sintered article separately in any order or combined in any order.
- the mixing time employed should be sufficiently short to allow the sealant solution to be applied and infiltrated into the coated or sintered article.
- reactive sealant solutions are provided for thermally sprayed coated articles or sintered articles intended to come into contact with a corrosive environment.
- the precipitated sealant solution reduces or eliminates porosity-related problems such as penetration and corrosion by fluids, particularly in coatings and ceramics used in the electronics industry in plasma and chemical vapor deposition chambers and in electrostatic chucks where the presence of mobile contaminant metallic cations must be avoided.
- the sealant solution is easy to apply and cost effective to produce.
- the sealing material exhibits desired resistance to corrosive liquids and gases, thus making it ideally suitable for coating structural materials, such as components used in the plasma chambers employed in the manufacture of integrated circuit components, internal deposition chamber components, electrostatic chucks and the like, that are intended to be used in or in contact with corrosive environments.
- An illustrative sealing method of this invention is as follows:
- this invention utilizes a sealant having an excellent resistance to corrosive fluids, especially to corrosive gases, and the sealant minimizes or eliminates contamination of the coated or sintered article.
- the sealant comprises an aqueous solution which can be applied to the surface of an article by painting, spraying, such as thermal spraying, or using any other conventional technique.
- the aqueous solutions After applying the aqueous solutions to the article, it should be allowed to infiltrate the porous surface of the article and then dried to remove substantially all of the water.
- the water in the coating should be reduced to 10% or less of the water used in the aqueous solution and preferably reduced to 5% or less of the water used in the aqueous solution.
- the coated article could be heated above 100° C. for a time period to reduce the water in the coating to 5% or less. Generally, a time period of about 4 to about 8 hours would be sufficient, with a time period of about 16 to about 24 hours being preferred. It is preferable to heat the coated article above 100° C. since chemically combined water is removed better at higher temperatures.
- the sealant will eliminate or reduce porosity related problems such as penetration and corrosion of the porous surface by liquids and gases.
- the amount of yttrium salts should be sufficient to provide a compatible solid compound infiltrated into the porous surface, thus sealing the article from penetration and corrosion by fluids.
- articles intended for use in corrosive environments are first thermal spray coated with a protective coating layer or a sintered article is produced.
- the sealant can then be deposited over the coating or sintered article to prevent penetration of corrosive liquids and gases to the substrate of the article.
- a solution of zirconium nitrate and a solution of ammonium hydroxide could be infiltrated and precipitated in the porosity of the outer porous surface.
- the sealed thermal sprayed coated article or sintered article formed by the method of this invention may have desired corrosion resistance, heat resistance, thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance.
- the method of this invention offers significant advantages, in particular economic advantages. It uses high purity reagents which are commercially available from laboratory suppliers for analytical and electronics industry purposes. It is an ambient laboratory or clean-room method requiring no vacuum chambers or capital equipment other than standard chemical laboratory equipment.
- the chemical regents are inorganic, inexpensive and with minimal handling and usage hazards. They have low level corrosive and oxidizer classifications. With respect to the reagents used in the method, there are no exceptional disposal procedures involved.
- the method of this invention may work best by applicator painting.
- High grade cleaned and boiled electronics grade brushes should be used to avoid contamination. Tank immersion would lead to cross contamination.
- the coated articles used in the method of this invention can be prepared by flowing powder through a thermal spraying device that heats and accelerates the powder onto a base (substrate). Upon impact, the heated particle deforms resulting in a thermal sprayed lamella or splat. Overlapping splats make up the coating structure.
- a plasma spray process useful in this invention is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,016,447, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- a detonation process useful in this invention is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,519,840 and 4,626,476, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference, which include coatings containing tungsten carbide cobalt chromium compositions.
- Pat. No. 6,503,290 discloses a high velocity oxygen fuel process useful in this invention to coat compositions containing W, C, Co, and Cr.
- Cold spraying methods known in the art may also be useful in this invention. Typically, such cold spraying methods use liquid helium gas which is expanded through a nozzle and allowed to entrain powder particles. The entrained powder particles are then accelerated to impact upon a suitably positioned workpiece.
- the thermal spraying powder is thermally sprayed onto the surface of the article, and as a result, a thermal sprayed coating is formed on the surface of the article.
- High-velocity-oxygen-fuel or detonation gun spraying are illustrative methods of thermally spraying the thermal spraying powder.
- Other coating formation processes include plasma spraying, plasma transfer arc (PTA), or flame spraying.
- plasma spraying is preferred for yttria and alumina coatings because there is no hydrocarbon combustion and therefore no source of contamination. Plasma spraying uses clean electrical energy.
- Preferred coatings for thermally spray coated articles of this invention include, for example, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, cerium oxide, aluminum oxide, or oxides of Groups 2A to 8B inclusive of the Periodic Table and the Lanthanide elements.
- the method of this invention can be used with pressed and sintered alumina and yttria and ceramic alloys and other coatings such as alumina-titania, and multi-layered sprayed ceramic coatings.
- the method may be suitable for forming metal-ceramic composites where ceramic loadings are low, and it may even be useful in toughening ceramics by providing energy absorbing microcrystalline crack-stoppers.
- the in-situ precipitation of desired compounds within the pores of a porous body can also be applied to bind solutions of nanoparticle or slurries which are infiltrated.
- a fluid suspension of nanoparticles of yttrium oxide is infiltrated into the porosity of a thermally sprayed oxide ceramic coating and the suspension fluid is allowed to dry by evaporation.
- Two reacting solutions, e.g., yttrium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide can be infiltrated sequentially and allowed to react chemically.
- the resultant precipitated material binds in the infiltrated nanoparticles thereby blocking or closing the porosity and preventing the nanoparticle from becoming dislodged.
- Slurries of suspended particles may also be infiltrated into a porous body and bonded in place by use of aluminum based reacting solutions or by solutions or another material of choice, e.g., yttrium nitrate, cerium nitrate or zirconium nitrate.
- the inherent pore channels in anodization may be treated with solutions of metallic salts as described herein to enhance the corrosion resistance of anodically grown alumina film.
- the method of this invention may be useful for making a “paint-on” coating or for supplementing the thermal spray coating in some way so as to afford protection to difficult areas or areas where, for example, anodizing ends and thermal spray coating begins.
- Aqueous solutions of high purity yttrium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide were prepared in several different concentrations and applied in different orders in various examples to thermally sprayed yttrium oxide coated samples.
- Ammonium hydroxide reactant was applied first and allowed to soak into the coating without leaving puddles on the surface followed by the yttrium nitrate solution, applied similarly. Residual puddles or pools left water marks which could not be removed.
- a reaction time of 1 hour in air at room temperature was allowed after which the test pieces were air-oven dried overnight (12 or more hours).
- the samples were whiter in color after treatment, attributed to improved reflectivity due to porosity closure and no effects of the treatment were visible on the sample surfaces.
- the samples were set up for 5 weight percent aqueous hydrochloric acid penetration test and testing commenced. The hydrochloric acid penetration test is described below.
- a hydrochloric acid penetration test was conducted to assess and rank the quality of thermally sprayed ceramic coatings, particularly yttria, in terms of the time to penetration by a contacting aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid.
- Time to penetration was taken as the elapsed time between introduction of the acid and penetration of the coating to an aluminum substrate such that substrate corrosion by the acid led to the generation of a stream of at least 2 bubbles of hydrogen gas per second. This point was determined visually.
- Coatings were ranked in terms of time to penetration.
- the acid used in the hydrochloric acid penetration test was a 5 weight percent aqueous solution of concentrated laboratory hydrochloric acid of specific gravity 1.19 grams per milliliter, which represents a fully saturated solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water at ambient temperature and pressure, i.e., fully concentrated hydrochloric acid.
- the hydrochloric acid penetration test was carried out under ambient lab conditions 20-30° C. Samples were handled using latex gloves and wiped with approved clean-room wipes. Washing was carried out with deionized water and with approved isopropyl alcohol. Glass cylinders and any other equipment and materials which may come into contact with the coating or reagents used in-the test were prepared by washing with deionized water, wiping with clean-room wipes and drying with isopropyl alcohol before use.
- Yttrium nitrate analytical grade
- aqueous solution in 8 meg ohm de-ionized water and a 10 milliliters/litre solution of ammonium hydroxide was made up.
- the former is designated “Solution A” and the latter, “Solution B”.
- Observations of precipitation on a watch glass showed that precipitation started after about 2 minutes which gave enough time for the solutions to soak into the yttria ceramic coating.
- Solution A was applied to the yttria coating on a 4 inch ⁇ 4 inch aluminum sheet and after allowing 2 minutes of penetration time and blotting off any excess surface solution, Solution B was applied. After 20 minutes reaction time, the sample was air oven dried at 50° C. for 12 hours. This sample resisted penetration in the hydrochloric acid test for more than 8 hours.
- zirconia coating desired to be sealed on a high temperature substrate material such as a steel, nickel or cobalt based alloy, with an in-situ precipitate of zirconium oxide or yttrium oxide
- the temperature capability of the substrate allows the precipitate to be heat treated above 800° C.
- the product would be expected to be a composite of yttrium oxide grains bonded by zirconia.
- the low melting point of aluminum alloys precludes the benefits of these reactions because of limitations on heat treatment temperature.
